The woman was found guilty of the murder of her husband and two lovers, and also in an attempt to assassinate a friend's life in order to obtain an inheritance.

The District Court of Kyoto sentenced the 70-year-old woman to hanging, despite the arguments of the defense that the defendant suffers from dementia.

Kakieehi committed murder for love of money, the judge explained, writes the Air Force.

The defendant heard the verdict dispassionately. Earlier, she told the judges that even if she was executed tomorrow, she would die with a smile.

According to the investigation, Kakiehi forced her men to swallow ampoules of cyanide, convincing victims that they are food additives.

The autopsy revealed that the bodies of the deceased contain a large amount of prussic acid. Traces of poison were found in the house of Kakeshi.

Over the past twenty years, the woman had four husbands, and all was in close contact with more than ten men who died under strange circumstances.

With her last husband, she lived only a month.

As the heiress of his victims, an elderly Japanese woman received 1 billion yen (almost $ 9 million), but lost most of these funds on failed financial transactions.

The trial of Tisako Kakehi recalled the case of another black widow, Kanai Kijima, who was sentenced to death in 2012 for killing three lovers. The court found that a woman killed her victims after taking money from them.
